R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Seems like this really needs a strict and a lax mode.  Perhaps a BrowserCookie 
class that implements the relaxed rules?

That would make this a feature request, though, and so nothing would happen 
until 3.3, which would be unfortunate.

It is certainly possible to create a more relaxed version for your own use.  It 
seems to me that (untested):

class BrowserCookie(BaseCookie):

    def set(self, key, val, coded_val, LegalChars=_LegalChars+':'):
        super().set(key, val, coded_val, LegalChars)

would do most of what And Clover wants (not adding or stripping quotes or doing 
backslash quoting or encoding, accepting : in key names (and more characters 
could be added; the regex in the parsing step is fairly liberal)).

Making further relaxations is difficult without poking in to module internals, 
though.
